I haven't been in a laundromat in a VERY VERY VERY long time (there's a reason for this mention). Instead of discarding a washable rug, I decided to try to clean it. Going in, I had NO idea what to do or what things would cost. A fellow customer advised me to use the extra large washers. I learned later that I added waaaaay too much cleanser. I could go on about my series of unfortunate events (doors not closing, suds everywhere, water on the floor- all user error), but I digress. With all of my angst and mishaps, at every turn, there was someone to assist me, and mostly without asking! There are vending machines, a television, a few arcade games, a store and a counter to purchase detergents. There are little separation areas to keep you from feeling overwhelmed. My rug didn't ring properly, so my drying time was well over 1.5 hours, but that was because of the padding on the rug. I'm here on a Sunday morning. It is not crowded. There were some language barriers, but that didn't stop the staff from eagerly coming over to help me. You guys know I appreciate exceptional customer service! My only criticism (and it's slight) is what's going on in each phase of the wash cycle is not clearly marked. I would return. read more

With my washer and dryer out of commission, I turned to my fellow yelpers for advice on where to wash my clothes. Since most of the reviews on here were older, I wasn't sure what to expect. I arrived on a Friday evening and there was plenty of parking. We quickly figured out that there are three different washing machine sizes (the two smaller machines were $3.50 and $4.50 a load) and they each take quarters. There's an atm on site, and a machine to change larger bills into smaller bills and smaller bills into quarters. The machines were clean and the there was an attendant with a red apron on keeping order throughout the place. This laundromat is not new or fancy, though they did have an in-house barber, snacks and even some games and most importantly, my clothes were clean and dry when I left. The dryers are in two separate rooms, which got pretty warm, though dried clothes quickly. There are carts to carry clothes from the washer to the dryer and then onward to get folded. There were a bunch of tables to fold laundry and people moved quickly to fold their clothes and move on. read more

Laundry World - Washing machines $3.50 for a small washer load. It has a time count down, so you know how long your load will take - Laundromat Near Me - College Park, Maryland

I have passed by this business regularly for many years but only found myself in need of their service this week. I was really impressed by how well this place was run. I had seen a couple of positive reviews on yelp but I was still a bit apprehensive about whether the place would be very clean ... the place is spotless. An older Asian man (possibly the owner) and a younger Hispanic? woman were working while I was there. They were constantly walking around, checking on all of the machines. I saw them both cleaning and wiping surfaces and the woman also climbed up on a step stool to clean the dispenser above the washer where the detergent and other items are poured in. They both were friendly and responsive. Getting quarters was convenient. They also have a small store with lots of cleaning related items but I did not check it out. There are carts that seem to be of similar quality to grocery carts. One minor peeve was that the dryer seemed to eat up my quarters without registering any time on the dial. A young woman client took pity on me and showed me how to retrieve my money. read more

Employees are always nice and attentive. Clean! Professional! Spacious! ATM! Convenient Store! read more

I will say this place has the best price in the area. It's open 24/7 so it makes easy for me to at night and wash some clothes. It could be a little cleaner and when you do need help it's sometimes hard to find a worker. But that's just me bing picky. For the most part this is a good spot to get your laundry done. read more

Laundry World - Inside the laundry place. - Laundromat Near Me - College Park, Maryland

Thinking of changing my yelp nickname to Kelly "granny panties forever" G. after this review. My dryer is broken. Actually, its been broken for a couple of weeks, er, months, now. I have fixed it twice. Twice it was the little belt that goes around the wheel things next to the drum to spin it. THIS time, its the heating element. So now, it spins just fine. Its just icy cool inside the whole time. Fixing the belt was no problemo. But the heating element, aw hail no, I do not want to mess with that thing... I can just see the news broadcast now: {...my neighborhood in the background a charred wasteland...and Jackie Benson live on scene trying to report and dodge fire trucks and duck away from live wires at the same time...} "Today in washington, residents say Kelly G., a thrifty yelping singleton who typically billed herself as a harriet homemaker, attempted to repair the heating element on her dryer...more details after this..." And I've so totally gotten tired of the rough, scratchy, air-dried thing. Oh is that a drag. So, I'm here now at Laundry World doing my Yelp review as I await my load of towels and sheets and other cottony, "must-dry-in-a-dryer" goods. They have free wi-fi. The SpeedQueen dryers are six minutes per quarter. They have pool tables, arcade games, your requisite snack machines, ample, well-lit parking, oh, and they have washing machines, too. I just didn't need to use those. If your dryer breaks, or you just need a laundromat for some odd reason, swing on by LaundryWorld. I'm a fan. read more

I'm going back to Laundry World. It may not be the cheapest, the coolest, or the most stable, but it gets the job done. I paid between 3 and 4 dollars to wash a very large load. They have 20 lb, 30 lb, 50 lb, etc. washers at various costs, obviously increasing in cost as weight increases. I paid a buck fifty to dry a large load. This is too expensive for laundry, but I don't typically do laundry out of my house, so I would only be upset if I paid a lot and the machines did a poor job. My clothes came out great. I've become used to using my house dryer at the last two places I've lived, and they do not measure up to the wonder that these washer and dryer combinations provide. I care a lot about my clothes, and I was happy while I was folding them. Laundry World is huge. The use of the word "World" in their name is appropriate. There are a lot of video games to be played, pool tables to use (if you're doing laundry with a friend[?] or stranger), and televisions. There's a few decent places to sit and do homework. However, I just left my clothes to spin and went for a drive to run errands. I came back and my clothes had been adequately washed/dried. I came back during the essential in-between stage of transferring the clothes from washer to drier. Not a hassle, they have a lot of mobile clothes carriages. There are a lot of change machines. Lots of detergent to be bought if necessary. Washer inlet for powder or liquid detergent. A lot of the machines here are broken (whether change machines, video game machines, some washers/driers) but redundancy should be part of the Laundry World brand. They have enough redundancy in this place to create two functional laundromats. Go to Laundry World and get your clothes done already. read more

This is my regular laundry spot. They have plenty of machines in mutiple sizes so even when it's busy you can usually grab a machine. Mostly it's not too terribly busy (except on Sunday nights, it's a free for all madhouse). They are open 24 hours a day when the university is in session, and open until 1 am during the summer. They have pool tables, vending machines, TVs, plenty of seating, and fully stocked machines that give you quarters. It's very well lit and full of plenty of friendly people. No one really makes trouble or anything, unless you count the occassional kid playing bumper cars in the laundry carts. My only complaint is that the bathroom occassionally is in need of attention, but just mention it to an attendant and they fix it up quick. But for the most part it's everything you could want: clean, well-lit, the machines work and there are plenty of them. read more

This place is disgusting. My friend came here to wash her quilt at night and holy sh*t- it is ridden with bugs. The term "infested" is doesn't begin to cover it. They are all around the outside doors and plenty of them come inside. I was paranoid and felt things crawling on me until I got back in my car. I made my roommate check her quilt for insects because the last thing I want is a bedbug infestation from laundry world in my apartment. (I dont know if they were bedbugs or not but I'm not taking any chances) read more

As a student it's hard to get laundry done. I really appreciate having a place like this so close to campus. Since living off campus my building does not have washers and dryers. They have decent prices and I'm always happy doing my laundry there. read more

After a year and a half of dealing with my apartment building's crappy laundry machines, I finally decided to treat myself to drop off service at laundry world. The employees are so nice, and my clothes have never been cleaner :^) read more

Great place to do laundry for your son that is in college! Lots of machines and clean. Singles double and triples.

Great place. Washers were fast, dryers too. We played games while we waited. It was fun for the kids.

If you give them 90¢/pound, they'll do your laundry for you. You just pick it up the next day. For me, that's, like, $20 every two or three weeks. Totally worth it to never have to wash or dry or fold again. Also, they are really nice and conscientious. The first time I came, the lady was super worried that they were going to overcharge me, because of the weight of my laundry basket. She hunted around to find a plastic bag for me, so I could transfer my clothes to it and save money. If they took credit cards, they'd be perfect. read more

Wow! Its hard to put into words how great laundry world is for me, and the community. Talk about convenience, they have full laundry service at affordable rates, a nail salon, and an arcade to keep the kiddies occupied. The service is always great, and the televisions are always playing very interesting telenovelas that keep me intrigued while I wait for my clothes. Laundry world turns chores into a great day out! read more

I always come here. It's very convenient for me because Laundry World is open 24 hours everyday. It is also a lot cheaper than other laundromats in College Park and around the area from what I've experienced. There are many washers and dryers in different sizes and TVs around the whole place. There is also a huge flat-screen TV near the cashier with plenty of chairs. My kids are never bored and there are plenty of arcade games, pool tables, and vending machines. Definitely stop by Laundry World, if by any chance you are in need of a washer and dryer or even entertainment! read more

I paid $30 for the drop off service because over winter break my sorority house is closed. They do it by $.89 a pound. I tried to explain to the guy that my laundry basket probably weighed a little but he didn't listen to me. When I left I realized I left my container in my laundry basket that had four dollars in quarters and 3 of those laundry detergent pouches in it. I figured when I got back it would be returned. When I picked up my laundry the $4 in quarters and the laundry detergent was gone. I asked the woman working if she knew who I could talk to and she said no, asked if there was a number I could call and she said no, asked when the manager would be back and She said "maybe Wednesday." Disappointed in the service and definitely won't be going back or recommending the place to any friends. UPDATE: just got home to open up my laundry and there are blue and pink ink dots all over my clothes. Literally paid them to ruin my clothes and sheets. read more

laundry world is the best in Maryland. with its game room. its funny to know that this is the biggest laundry in Maryland-DC. people from 25 miles radius to this laundry even thought there are many other laundromat around . the drop off service is perfect. machines are clean . so what else do we want from a laundromat? if you have never been there i recommended you to go and see 100% sure you won't be disappointed HAVE GOOD FUN N K B read more

Drop off service is a rip off. They make you separate your own whites from colors THEN charge you an additional $3.00 for using separate washers for whites AND charge you for a too-big bottle of bleach. $.89 a pound turns into much, much more. May be a great place with great perks for doing your own laundry, but avoid for drop off. Cheaper better service is available elsewhere. read more

I do not like this place that is always very cold also the dryers do not work to dry my socks just over 2 dollars spent and also the owner is not crazy about the good people not interested in the comfort of others only money should never say hello or be friendly but not so at night is also very dangerous because it is the only guy who cares and nobody but there are also many bugs and I take my clothes to my house so when did the washing and folding I recommend not to visit this place read more

I pretty much exclusively take my laundry here. For the most part it's fine. I disagree with others that say it's too expensive, it's actually saved me money, but you need to find the best combination of washers and dryers that work for you. And i have never seen bugs that would make me worry about my laundry, only the occasional fly, which is normal. The floors and such are not the cleanest and now and then I find extra yucky things in the washing machines, but that's bound to happen in a public laundromat because there are plenty of gross, inconsiderate people. However, 95% of thr customers are nice and considerate that I've seen. The women who work here do come through a few times a day to clean and they are very nice and helpful. The owner is a serious jerk, though. I gave it only 4 stars because the machines are often broken, especially the dryers, and there could be more tables and chairs for folding. If you go in the evening or on weekends you risk not having enough space. read more
